To determine which of the two electrolytes, A or B, is a strong electrolyte, we can analyze the changes in their molar conductivity (λm) upon dilution. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Molar Conductivity (λm)**: Molar conductivity (λm) is a measure of how well an electrolyte conducts electricity when dissolved in a solution. It is defined as the conductivity of the solution divided by the molar concentration of the electrolyte. 2. **Effect of Dilution on Strong and Weak Electrolytes**: ...
